When a drug task force receives anonymous tips via a tipline and then further communicates with the tipster via email & cell phones to gather more information about the suspect and crime and tells the tipster that everything will be kept confidential, what will be included in the motion for discovery?

Can they use the emails and notes from the cell phone conversations even though it was promised to be confidential?

Hire a criminal lawyer with whom you can be comfortable because that is the only way that both of you will be able to function well as you have to through the length of your case. Once you have hired an experienced criminal lawyer who appears to be the best in terms of knowledge, expertise and experience, do not forget that it will be your relationship with this lawyer that will count the most.
